I guided three foreign guests to Kasugano-beya sumo stables. Kind Takenawa- Oyakata, a coach, guided us to a space facing the dohyo-rink and prepared cushions for us to sit on. Just in front of us, strong sekitori-wrestlers were fighting ea...ch other. My favorite wrestler, Tochinoshin, lost every bout. "What happened to him? Is he in poor health this morning?" After I happened to find his interview article on a website the other day, I became his fan. The Georgian boy struggled through many difficulties such as language difference, home sickness and loneliness, and became a high-ranking wrestler two years after he entered Kasugano-beya. All of the members helped him. I'm looking forward to seeing all Kasugano wrestlers, especially Tochinochin's, progress in the March tournament. After the morning training, I took one of my guests' pictures with Takenawa- Oyakata, who was a former wrestler, Tochinonada, because he is a fan of him.
